I was skeptical

Aug 09, 2017

My daughter is loving Life of Fred, and most importantly, she is LEARNING. She does her lessons cheerfully, though sometimes she does get stuck and frustrated like anyone studying math. But...she doesn't give up, and she keeps trying because it's fun, there are multiple chances to master a skill, and she loves the challenge of figuring out how the "story" is going to end once she figures out the math. If your child is sick of Saxon (like mine was), try LOF. Both my kids begged to change from Saxon. One loves Teaching Textbooks CDs (straightforward, all onscreen, get it done and move on). And one loves Life of Fred (creative, story-based, good for picture-thinkers, nothing onscreen). Take the time to see which math works for your learner. Life of Fred might be the spark that turns them on anew to math!

My son absolutely HATED math before LOF. Now he looks forward to it. Need I say more?

A wonderful all-in-one algebra curriculum

I love that LOF Beginning Algebra Expanded Edition is the only book I need to buy my high-schooler for math this year - no extra teacher guide, or answer key, and no separate workbook to purchase. Since we started homeschooling, we've been using Life of Fred. It's nice to hear him laugh while doing math!
